Seren - yeah, it is hard not to do what you KNOW you can do. And s running is as much (if not more) about mental than physical strength I am used to ignoring my head saying "slow down" or "stop". I just think it's playing the usual interference when it's probably trying to save me from injury.

Muttley - Thanks! ThunderThighs was taken so this was the next best thing. I will just keep on running until I can change it to "LegsLikeTwigs" or similar. Haha!
